75 word bio
David Saffert & Jillian Snow share the stage as Liberace & Liza Minnelli, creating an exhilarating night of musical and comical fireworks. Just like Liberace, Saffert shares his dizzying piano skills, glamorous costumes, and that trademark, unforgettable wink. Snow belts & banters as Liza Minnelli busting out all the audience favorites. Bo Ayars, Liberace’s actual arranger/music director, conducts the show for an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment that will leave your cheeks sore for days.
“In 2023, “Liberace and Liza: A Tribute” became the cornerstone of our summer programming—and months later, our audiences (and staff members!) are still quoting the show. Between the exceptionally high level of true, and often times, jaw-dropping artistic talent and sheer comedic brilliance on display by David Saffert and Jillian Snow, sits a wonderfully heartfelt tribute to two artists for whom connecting with an audience was everything. Through them, Liberace and Liza—in all their glitz, glamour and singular uniqueness—live loud and proud, full of ego and pathos, humor and heart, and story and song. May their sequins and costume jewelry brilliantly reflect the spotlights of our country’s stages for years to come!”
- Randy Taradash, General Manager / Artistic Producer at Feinstein’s at the Nikko
“The playful nexus of drag performance, beloved popular and musical theater songs, and off the cuff humor, creates a brilliantly alive space in which we’re all invited to step into the warmth of their wild holiday festivities.”
- Marissa Wolf, Artistic Director at Portland Center Stage
